About Tim Kendall

I am Professor of English at the University of Exeter. I have written mainly on twentieth-century poetry from Britain, Ireland and America. My most recent publications have focused on war poetry: Modern English War Poetry, a monograph, appeared from Oxford University Press in 2006; and in early 2007 The Oxford Handbook of British and Irish War Poetry, a 37-essay collection which I edited, came from the same publisher. Previous works include studies of Sylvia Plath and Paul Muldoon. My monograph, The Art of Robert Frost, is forthcoming from Yale University Press in April 2012. I am currently completing an anthology of First World War poetry for Oxford World's Classics. Also under contract are a book on war poetry for OUP's Very Short Introductions series, and (with Philip Lancaster) a three-volume edition of Ivor Gurney's Complete Poems for Oxford English Texts. An essay on Charlotte Mew is forthcoming in the Oxford Handbook of Victorian Poetry.
